Will Hughes will be available for the second consecutive weekend and is in line for his first start since returning from a severe hamstring injury.

Being available for a second consecutive match might not seem like a big deal for a professional athlete but for Hughes this represents some significant progress. The summer signing has missed most of the season thus far due to injury and after teasing with significant end product during his brief healthy spell, the Hornets will be eager to get him his first start of 2018. For fantasy purposes, Hughes is a nice potential addition given what he's shown and the (lack of) quality of this weekend's opposition. Mar 2 - 12:22 PM

Will Hughes was magical for his brief period of good health earlier this season and Watford will hope that he is both ready to participate in Week 28 and prepared to reprise his starring role.

Hughes came to Watford over the summer with the reputation for being both talented and brittle. He has lived up to the former label briefly and the latter for most of the season. Hughes may return against Everton but his injury history may cause the Hornets to be conservative with his playing time until he proves that he can stay on the pitch. Look for a substitute appearance at most in Week 28 with his participation increasing in the coming weeks. Definitely one to watch as a late-season fantasy waiver wire addition in draft-style leagues if he can stay healthy. Feb 23 - 4:36 PM

Will Hughes has a chance to return for the Hornets for the Week 21 visit of Swansea City.

Given Hughes' injury history this season, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Marco Silva play this one conservatively and assume that his side can take Swansea at Vicarage Road without risking Hughes as he returns from a hamstring injury. That said, Silva will be excited to get Hughes back and see if he can return to the form that saw him score twice in a short period while healthy in late November. Fri, Dec 29, 2017 02:53:00 PM

Will Hughes, out four weeks with a hamstring injury already, could return for Watford's weekend trip to the south coast to face Brighton.

The Hornets have been fading after a strong first half of the season. They got a brief boost from Hughes who played three strong matches before going down with a hamstring injury. His return would be ideal because Marco Silva's side has been struggling mightily with both injury and discipline. Troy Deeney, Marvin Zeegelaar, and Abdoulaye Doucoure will all be suspended for the trip to south coast. That's a lot of talent missing from a slumping team. If Hughes is missing as well it could spell trouble. Fri, Dec 22, 2017 02:22:00 PM
